Where is the directory for PKGBUILD to put the manually downloaded zip? I downloaded it to my Downloads directory, but it can't find it and fails to build/install when using pamac or pacman even though I edited the PKGBUILD "local://" URL.

@damico AUR helpers are not supported. Place the source file in the PKGBUILD directory and run makepkg.

@Cysioland Why the new makepkg hates file:// ? It works fine for me.
Cysioland commented on 2018-07-19 17:16 (UTC)
Could you replace file:// with local:// ?
Because new makepkg hates file://

@OrdinaryMagician
Your affirmative is wrong and in this case it's necessary. There is no other way to make an AUR package that requires manual source file download without using 'file://'.
If I remove the 'file://' part from PKGBUILD (and consequently from .SRCINFO) the AUR will reject my push beucase the source if is not tracked by git.
I understand that from the user point of view it makes to no difference to be with or without 'file://' because makepkg will expect the local source file to there in any of these cases. But it's not possible make the AUR package without using it.
Anyway, please read the following forum topic. This situation is discussed there and competent users/administrators said that 'file://' is a "de facto" standard for AUR packages that requires manual source file download from the user.

Edited to correct wrong parts.

The "file://" part is still completely unnecessary.

@Trollwut
Unfortunately it's not possible due to licensing issues. NVIDIA requests the user to manually accept their EULA before downloading the zip file, and so a direct download link cannot be provided in PKGBUILD.
This kind of issue has been detailed discussed in the following forum topic:

Thanks mate!
Will it be possible to let the ZIP download per package install? Or is this against some TOS?

In order to build the package, you need to manually download the SDK file from NVIDIA's website (registration required). Place the downloaded file in the PKGBUILD directory and run makepkg.
